Electron dot diagram for sulfur 8 molecule?

Answer 1

S8 is solid sulfur, there are 8 sulfur atoms bound together.

For instance, if you try to find the number of sulfur atoms in 27.1 g of molecular sulfur (S8), the set up would be this:

(27.1 g S8) x (1 mol S8/32.066 g S8) x (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/1 mole) = 5.09 x 10^23 atoms

*Notice how you still use the Atomic Mass of S, 32.066 amu and NOT 32.066 x 8

This is from Dr. Frazer's practice test :)

Answer 2

For a sulfur molecule (S8), the electron dot diagram would show each sulfur atom surrounded by 6 dots (representing its 6 valence electrons) with lines between the sulfur atoms to show the covalent bonds. Each sulfur atom would share two of its electrons to form single covalent bonds with the neighboring sulfur atoms, ultimately resulting in a ring structure with a total of 8 sulfur atoms.

Answer 3

Can refer the Plus one text book of CBSE Chemistry.

Answer 4

The group of atoms that has the electron dot structure of 8 is the noble gases (excluding Helium, which has 2 electrons). These elements are: [Ne], [AR], [Kr], [Xe], [Rn] [Uuo].
